FALO' DELLE VANITA'

The three-meter installation evokes the evening of Shrove Tuesday, February 7, 1497, when the friar Savonarola and his followers burned thousands of objects considered impure, sinful, immoral in Piazza della Signoria, which in their opinion could generate vanity precisely. Among these, in addition to mirrors, cosmetics, luxurious clothes, also musical instruments, manuscripts, numerous drawings and paintings. To the rescue come the fire extinguishers (Caravaggio, Bernini, Canova, Burri ...) who dominate the flames, controlling and extinguishing the great fire, precisely with their subsequent healthy artistic vanity and their genius that overwhelms those who try to set fire to the fire. art to destroy it.

Because ART NEVER BURNS. LOADING ART TO SAVONAROLA!
